 If you need to clear a region, you can drag from an empty region, or

+Dragging a colour using the \e{right} mouse button will stipple the
+region in that colour, which you can use as a note to yourself that

+stipples in multiple colours at once. (This is often useful at the
+harder difficulty levels.)

+If you press L during play, the game will toggle display of a number
